  Given that you think (and I agree) that the current Slime indentation
  contrib is superior to the current one for Emacs Lisp, I don't quite
  understand why you would want to write some new machinery.

  The Slime contrib provides customizable indentation through the notion
  of styles. Can't you just write an Emacs Lisp style that suits your
  needs?
